Headstrong Lyrics

I'm not running from anything

I will face whatever head on

Turning dreams into reality

For that I am headstrong

Got Jose in the passenger

He twist it, grind it, pack it, passing me the bong

International traveler

With a beautiful girl on my arm

She was a young woman looking for a better life

Without a guarantee, she made a sacrifice

Went across the border left behind her family

Moved to Chicago in the 1970s

Learning English, working in a factory

Getting used to the winter, where the temperature freeze

But eventually, she became a teacher

Working in the public school, sticking to procedure

Along the way, she raised three sons

They struggled as a family but they got it done

One of her sons grew up to be my father

As a Mexican, she knows the value of a dollar

I'm not running from anything

I will face whatever head on

Turning dreams into reality

For that I am headstrong

Got Jose in the passenger

He twist it, grind it, pack it, passing me the bong

International traveler

With a beautiful girl on my arm

I know I have a lot to offer to the world

So I gotta give it all before I go

Student of life, already enrolled

I believe in karma like my name was Earl

Bachata dancing with my Mexican girl

She got the skills, she showing me the moves

A little tipsy, giving her a twirl

Haciendo amor, what we like to do

I want connection that is more than physical

I prefer the truth even if it's difficult

Is that too much to ask, am I too sentimental?

Too much time without you can be detrimental

I just wanna be successful

Be respected and have a lot of cash

Keep me head down and be humble

I'm a fucking do what I can

I'm not running from anything

I will face whatever head on

Turning dreams into reality

For that I am headstrong

Got Jose in the passenger

He twist it, grind it, pack it, passing me the bong

International traveler

With a beautiful girl on my arm
